As a new health care method, intestinal lavage attracts many fashionable urban women despite its high cost. Now, not only regular hospitals have set up special intestinal lavage clinics, but beauty salons have also posted signs of "intestinal lavage beauty". However, it didn't take long for all kinds of mixed comments to follow. Some people say that intestinal lavage can achieve the effect of beauty, weight loss and delaying aging. Some people also say that bowel washing has no benefit except emptying your wallet. Some people think intestinal lavage is very painful, while others say it is extremely comfortable. With questions, the reporter interviewed Dr. Li Guodong, Dean of Guang 'anmen Hospital of Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He said earnestly: "the excessive publicity of advertisements exaggerates the role of intestinal lavage and misleads consumers." We must objectively understand and evaluate sausage washing to help consumers get out of the misunderstanding. "Misunderstanding 1: The view that the function of intestinal lavage is only to relieve constipation confuses intestinal lavage with traditional enema. Enemas are usually used only in the rectum. Mainly used for preoperative intestinal preparation or defecation. Intestinal lavage is obviously different. Intestinal lavage acts on the whole colon, about 1.5m, which can play a role in treatment, diagnosis and health care. Mainly treat digestive tract diseases, such as some chronic constipation, chronic intestinal inflammation, halitosis, etc. And has good curative effect. Through timely removal of intestinal metabolites, improve intestinal blood circulation and strengthen colon movement. According to the different conditions of patients, different drugs are often added to the lavage fluid. Because the intestine has a strong ability to absorb water, it absorbs well after adding medicine, so the effect of treating diseases is very good. It can also be used to diagnose diseases. Doctors can diagnose the disease timely and correctly by analyzing the discharged lavage fluid, such as the determination of immunoglobulin, the detection of exfoliated cells and the detection of the proportion of flora. For most people, its function is health care. Many metabolites of human body in intestine are carcinogens or harmful substances. If you stay in the intestine for a long time, it will cause self-poisoning, reduce the immune function of the body, cause irritability, cause endocrine disorders and produce chloasma. By washing the intestines, it can be corrected. Myth 2: Intestinal lavage is very painful. Intestinal lavage is very comfortable and painless. The patient lies down and is completely operated by specially trained medical personnel. It usually takes 45 minutes at a time, and the first lavage may take 1 hour. During lavage, the medical staff first inserted the small anoscope into the anus and rectum, and then connected it with the special intestinal lavage equipment controlled by computer, and injected the special intestinal lavage liquid of reverse osmosis into the intestinal cavity. The medical staff adjust the water pressure and water temperature to make the medicine fully contact with the intestinal mucosa, soften and dilute the waste accumulated on the inner wall of the intestine for a long time, and discharge the intestinal lavage fluid after a certain amount of water. Repeat the above process until the transparent lotion is discharged. In the process of lavage, medical staff will also massage different parts of the patient's abdomen in time to help dredge and excrete intestinal debris. Ms. Zhang, who has been washing intestines many times, told reporters that there is no discomfort during the process of washing intestines, and she will feel more relaxed and comfortable than ever before after washing. Myth 3: Intestinal lavage is suitable for everyone. The World Health Organization clearly stipulates that intestinal lavage, as a medical care method, is not suitable for everyone. It is not suitable for patients with fever, infection and rectal tumor, patients with severe internal hemorrhoids and severe heart disease, pregnant women and elderly people with cerebral infarction and arteriosclerosis. And there are some precautions before bowel washing. Don't wash your intestines on an empty stomach to avoid symptoms similar to hypoglycemia, and don't eat too much. In order to facilitate intestinal lavage, dry feces in the intestine should be discharged first. Doctors will also have some specific instructions for different patients and different purposes to be achieved. Myth 4: Intestinal lavage can definitely make you lose weight. Intestinal lavage has a certain cosmetic effect, but it is not as magical as some people say. It has certain effects on skin caused by some diseases, such as chloasma caused by endocrine disorders. For some women, pigmentation caused by the use of bad cosmetics is ineffective. The so-called weight loss may be because some impurities in the body are washed away, and of course the weight will be reduced. But compared with the expected effect of most dieters, it is still far from it. Myth 5: Intestinal lavage will cause adverse consequences such as flora imbalance. In fact, intestinal lavage will not destroy the proportion of flora. There is an obvious proportion of intestinal flora, and the flora is also lost in proportion in the process of intestinal lavage. It won't be said that only A goes out and B doesn't go out. So the ratio is still the same, and it will not cause imbalance. Moreover, there will be dependence after intestinal lavage. Especially for chronic constipation, it will become very sensitive after intestinal emptying. It also has therapeutic effect on intractable constipation, and it will not cause constipation without enema in the future. Constipation occurs because the intestine is not sensitive to some of these bacteria. Over time, it will become more and more difficult. It is mainly for this reason that intestinal lavage can enhance sensitivity. Myth 6: It is more convenient to go to a beauty salon to wash intestines than to go to a hospital. If it's just for health care, you can go to a more formal beauty salon. Generally speaking, their equipment is good and their hygiene can meet the standard. However, beauty salons are completely commercial activities with poor credibility. Intestinal lavage must be operated by professionals and must understand medical knowledge. As a treatment, it is best to go to a regular hospital, because beauty salons generally use pure water to clean the intestines, which can not achieve the therapeutic effect. The hospital will add different drugs for different symptoms and conduct comprehensive perfusion. Whether for the treatment of diseases or for general health care. Consulting a doctor is the most scientific method. It has a cycle, how many times should a course of treatment be? In what state does the body have the best effect of intestinal lavage? The doctor will give some special instructions. And how about "washing intestines" in America? How about "washing the intestines" often? Experts in provincial hospitals believe that bowel washing should be cautious. The large intestine is an important excretory system of human body. After food is absorbed and decomposed by mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine and liver, the residue is discharged into large intestine. If it is not excreted in time for a long time, it will definitely damage your health, so it is good for people with long-term constipation to wash their intestines. Healthy, constipation-free people don't need to wash their intestines, because "washing their intestines" mainly uses the pressure difference to pour water through the anus, which will inevitably stimulate the intestines, such as excessive peristalsis, which will cause stomach pain, while passive bowel washing, after all, breaks the normal balance of the human body and is not conducive to the enhancement of the human body's natural resistance, so even washing should not be too frequent, once a month is appropriate. Experts also reminded that "intestinal lavage" cannot replace formal treatment, and the advertisements for preventing and treating diseases and curing all diseases are not credible. Those who suffer from intestinal diseases, such as chronic enteritis and intestinal tumors, cannot expect to control their condition through intestinal lavage. In addition, "intestinal lavage" is mainly aimed at constipation, and more attention should be paid to reducing constipation symptoms in daily life, such as exercising according to age and physique; Diet should not be too fine, drink a glass of water on an empty stomach before going to bed and when waking up; Keep the spirit happy and relaxed, and find ways to relieve the pressure from work and life.
